    I don't need endless lists to repair your update **** ups!
    I need a one button solution!
    You provide this when **** up my pc, what you call updating, so provide it to undo YOUR ****!

    Someone on here asked if I use Norton, and if so revert back to the previous update.

    Did exactly that and sound problem solved. Not a Microsoft fault, Norton screwing with my laptop.

    I'll be changing when my current account expires, had no end of problems since installing Norton.

    If you have Norton on your computer go do to the driver updater and revert to previous version. I discovered this after 2 days of driving myself crazy. lol

    Thank you for the advice, your a star.

    Now got my sound back.

    My guess it that it's a microsoft bug in the audio driver. When the sound disappears and you cannot find the sound device in the speaker tray (speaker icon in lower right of screen), then do the following :

    1. Open Search Box
    2. Enter "devices" and "Device Manager" should appear.
    3. Click on it.
    4. Open "Sound, video, and game controllers" > "High Definition Audio Device" (windows 10)
    5. The device status probably says, "Error 43". It does not say, "This device is working properly".
    6. Try to disable & re-enable the device (go to driver tab or right-click on the "High Definition Audio Device" icon).
    7. If that doesn't work, reboot the machine.

    My laptop (Asus S16 hx365 zenbook) recently had a BIOS update which might be reducing the problem. Other than that, you might look for a NEWER OR OLDER sound drivers and try different versions to get them to work. This problem is probably Microsoft. I have had the sound cut out from driver crashes on BOTH windows 10 AND windows 11 on 2 completely different platforms (Asus Tuf x570 motherboard / 5950x, and Asus Zenbook S16 laptop / Ryzen AI 365 processor). The problem is not getting fixed by microsoft. They don't seem to care but they should.
